Maine independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler said he's raised more than $430,000 so far for his campaign for the 2014 election, while likely Democratic candidate Mike Michaud said he's raised about $313,000.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ In a semi-annual report filed Monday with the Maine Ethics Commission, Cutler reported that he received contributions from 632 individuals during the first six months of the year. He said 68 percent of his contributors are from Maine.

Michaud, a six-term congressman representing Maine's 2nd Congressional District, reports that he raised his money in 17 days after announcing he had formed an exploratory committee for a possible challenge of Republican Gov. Paul LePage. He said 1,200 individuals have contributed.
